I love that we get commentary from one of the people watching the cheetahs. She is very much team mom and wants to beat the ass of the leopard who stole the dinner.

Listen, if they figured out that was your weakness they would bring you a rotisserie chicken every damn day.

watching this documentary about big cats. And this cheetah mother has to go to great lengths to get dinner. And every day is a struggle.
Girl, same.

Yep. Very familiar. There are a few lures. The sex one is reliable.

the three most common reasons people do this sort of thing, money problems, grudge, and love of the game/believe in the ideology.

great pole-dancing elements employed in the opening ceremony.

a lot of what has made discourse insane is that there's an entire crop of guys who live in dc, do a ton of uppers, and have massive gender insecurity around the fact that they're soft-handed scribes

and no being poly doesn't count.
A secret family is all about the love of the game and no google calendars.

I do love the idea of a woman having a secret husband on the other side of the country.

Years ago I was at a party and this man asked me if I had any kids. I said, "Just the two that I know about."
I watched as his brain short-circuited for a moment.
I don't think a woman would have a secret family. She WOULD have a secret apartment.

It is time for the paralymics. I want to see bad-asses in competition, some low-key drama, and to continue muttering, "wheeeeeeeee" when I see these athletes do these insane things.

There is a measles outbreak in North London. I have opinions.

That choice always made complete sense to me.
Or Duncan Grant and Vanessa Bell buying paint and decorating the walls.

Good, but this is a day late and a buck short.

Thornberry et al. knew full well how wrong Labour were/are on 'trans' (cringe). We begged and pleaded with them for years. They did nothing.

Right when we needed their voices most, they stayed schtum to avoid upsetting their transphobic leadership.

Here is the cool part: I am using them. None of this "I should". It is very much, "and it is getting messy in here."

They world may end, or it could not. I am still ordering more art supplies.

this is what society always needs. a little coffee cart at a station. It gives people hope.

Lord Nelson was 5ft 6in. His statue is 17ft 4in.
That’s Horatio of 3:1.

Sometimes in society, some people (not all) will only develop some balanced character by having the shit kicked out of them so they don't inflict foolish/awful ideas. These young men never got that beating on the playground. It's not too late. But we know they didn't get it.

there are like 50 people in the country who want the UK to get involved in the Iran War, one of them is Kemi Badenoch, one of them is Nigel Farage, and the other 48 are newspaper columnists

I had a moment in my writing career that 16 year old me would have been super impressed by. Even 46 me is impressed. But that 16 year old girl within me... she kinda went and had her dreams come true.

I have a friend who has seen him live a few times. The man does NOT disappoint.
